History

Ndiff started as a project by Michael Pattrick during the 2008
Google Summer of Code. Michael designed the program and led the
discussion of its output formats. He wrote versions of the program
in Perl and C++, but the summer ended shortly after it was decided
to rewrite the program in Python for the sake of Windows (and
Zenmap) compatibility. This Python version was written by David
Fifield. James Levine released a Perl script named Ndiff with
similar functionality in 2000.
